Fear Valley

Camp Wynn Valley, August 1985. It is the last night of summer, the campfire is lit, and then the power dies. Something huge is walking the trails between the cabins, and it is looking for counselors.

Play Linda, Brody, Marcus or Mina, alone with three AI counselors or online with friends. Get six generators running while it hunts you by sight and by sound: crouch in the tall grass, hide in the shower lockers or under the bunks, and pull each other off its meat hooks. Get the lights back on and the camp owner's secret armory opens. Then it is your turn to hunt.

How to play

Your first job is the power. Find a dark generator, hold use on it and keep your nerve when the skill checks come up.

• Hold use on a generator to repair it. Friends on the same one make it go faster.
• Hit the skill checks. A miss bangs loud enough for it to hear across the lake.
• Its eyes throw a cone of light. Stay out of it: crouch in tall grass, hide in a shower locker or under a bunk.
• Flashlights, sprinting and voices carry. Move quietly when it is close.
• Caught? It hangs you on a meat hook. Friends can lift you off, but every trip to the hook is shorter.
• Ping a spot to show the team where to go.
• Once all six generators run, raid the armory: two guns and a melee weapon each. Hit it from behind, fire together to stagger it, and pick up anyone who goes down.

The counselors

Four counselors stayed behind for one last campfire. Pick who you play; the others are filled by friends or by AI.

• Linda: head counselor. Knows every trail by heart.
• Brody: lifeguard. Loud, lazy, secretly brave.
• Marcus: arts and crafts. Brought the guitar.
• Mina: nature lore. Has read every camp legend.
